Greenville, Texas -- Step back in time to gas street lamps and horse-drawn carriages of the 19th century Dickens Village that was donated to the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum by Kim Lovell Bond.  This exhibit has many pieces inspired by the best-loved of Dicken’s novels, like Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Christmas Carol. 

With old-world churches, quaint shops, cozy cottages, rustic schools and more, the Dickens’ Village portrays England as it was during Charles Dickens’ lifetime.  In addition, we have on display a collection of Santa figurines donated by Marco and Shana Robles and the Ende-Gailliard House is decorated for Christmas this year.

This exhibit will only be on display at the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum until January 16 so make sure to come spend a bit of the holiday season in the 19th century! 

The Museum is open Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and general admission is $8 for adults, $6 seniors/veterans/college students and $3 6-18 yr. olds.

In addition, don’t miss the big pre-Christmas sale that will be going on at the Museum’s gift shop December 10-14. Many of our items will be discounted up to 30% off including jewelry, Christmas ornaments, books, t-shirts, toys, and craft kits just to name a few.  This is a great opportunity to find that unique gift for someone else or for yourself!
